And if there is a ban on religious material I apologize in advance.

We are reading Mere Christianity in English class and we need to do a paper on an idea from the book next week. If you who are atheists and similar believers could reply I would appreciate it. My paper idea would then be set.

The question is a quote from the book:

"To what will you look for help if you will not look to that which is stronger than yourself?"

Answer # 1. Groups. Friends. In friendship, and in unity, there is strength.

#2. Mom and dad. That's what they're there for.

#3. People who like to help others. "Lean on me, when you're not strong..."

#4. Myself. I am stronger than even I realize sometimes.

#5. Non-theistic Faith (..."that the Universe is unfolding as it should", to quote Spock.)

I'm sure there are other answers.. I hope your paper isn't an attempt to show that all other answers are inadequate...
